Surah Al-Furqan — Ayah 9 (25:9)
ٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ ضَرَبُواْ لَكَ ٱلۡأَمۡثَٰلَ فَضَلُّواْ فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ سَبِيلٗا ٩
English translation (Saheeh International)
Look how they strike for you comparisons;1 but they have strayed, so they cannot [find] a way.
- - From their own imaginations in order to deny and discredit you.
Brief commentary
O Messenger! You should see and be amazed at how they can describe you with such false attributes, i.e. they said, “He is a magician”, “He has been spellbound”, and “He is insane”, so they deviated from the truth because of that. They are incapable of treading the path towards guidance and of questioning your truthfulness and honesty.
